Now that’s a nice surprise to find hiding under the hood.
System Preferences –> Network –> Add (+). Under the Interface dropdown menu select VPN. Choose your type (Cisco isn’t the only option), enter your credentials, and Bob’s your uncle.

The Facebook 1.5 app created a problem of duplicate calendar entries on my Blackberry. I thought deleting the application would fix it (I don’t really use Facebook much anyway), and at first it seemed like it did. But then more duplicate entries appeared. When I examined them in detail, they would show up as Facebook calendar entries. The link in the title shows what worked for me, post Facebook deletion:
If you want to totally delete the Facebook calendar then go into Options -> Advanced -> Service Books and delete Facebook [ICAL]
Many thanks to Crackberry forums user TheStoffer for this solution, for it seems to be working.

I use IMDB at work a lot, and finally got tired of having to manually click the search box every time I went back to that tab to perform a query. So with a little searching and tweaking, I came up with a Greasemonkey script that not only gives focus to the main search box, but returns focus to it when I hit the ESC key. Here’s the code for those interested:
function focusFirst() {
document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].focus();
}
function focusKey(ev) {
if (ev.keyCode == 27)
// 27 is the keycode for esc
focusFirst();
}
document.addEventListener("keyup", focusKey, false);
window.addEventListener('load', focusFirst, false);
I’m sure it can be done differently, and more efficiently, so constructive criticism is welcome.
